Abstract
Large scale 1580 nm-band WDM network over dispersion-shifted fiber employing add-drop multiplexers is demonstrated for the first time. By shifting the signal wavelength region to 1580 nm, the limitation due to four wave mixing can be avoided, which enables us to construct a 1200 km large scale network with the large node spacing of 120 km
